The arrest ends a 12-day manhunt for the 34-year-old who has been charged in the murder of Willingboro Lukoil Gas station attendant Bal Krishna Karki, during a robbery. Karki was beaten to death inside the gas station’s store and was discovered by a customer who contacted police at 2:30 a.m.

Johnson was arrested in the 100 block of North 23rd Street in Camden by the U.S. Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force.

In addition to the murder of Karki, Johnson also robbed a Willingboro convenience store following day on Feb. 12. In that robbery he demanded money and then fled in the victims car.

Johnson is also charged with robbing a Delran gas station at knifepoint on Wednesday. Johnson entered the office of National Fuel on Route 130 north and Tenby Chase Drive and threatened the attendant with a knife while demanding money. The Burlington County Prosecutors office said that the attendant was punched in the face before Johnson took the money and fled the scene.

“I appreciate the tireless and tenacious investigative work of everybody whose efforts led to the capture of this very dangerous individual,” Prosecutor Bernardi said. “The public can be relieved that he is off the street.”

Johnson will have a first appearance in Burlington County Superior Court on Monday Feb. 25.
